- The DRC is one of the poorest countries on the planet with one of the highest proportions of millionaires. While 70% of the population lives on less than a dollar a day, 6% are millionaires. Businessmen, artists, former rebel leaders or evangelists, many have made fortunes in chaos. In the capital, Kinshasa, these new rich live in the heart of secure and luxurious enclaves, while elsewhere, children work several hours a day tens of meters underground extracting coltan.
This documentary was first released in 2019.

A Congolese here, born and raised. Can’t fathom how DRCongo is still in this dire situation... But it’s my country and I love it. I sometimes do presentations in Japanese schools mostly and they seem to love what they see and hear about my country. We have a lot to offer to the world. And everyone can be happy and live peacefully. There is no reason for people to suffer in a country that has it all. But this is the result of human nature of greed. Congo is already rising… 🙌🏽🇨🇩💯
I always wonder 🤔
Why and Who divided Congo in 2 ? 😳🤔
What was their mother tang language 📝 (the original) ?
If I may ask, what is the aim of your presentation?
Have Chinese people not done enough in Africa, after the colonisers? What will the Japanese be doing?

@@InDie_Anna.Jones.338 why is that, is there any other reason that i dont know that may be the reason why the 2 congos are separate countrys
The fact that i heard someone speak swahili and he is in congo and am in kenya made me smile......
They speak mixture of swahili and lingala
Kiswahili is one of our national languages...
Of caulse swahili is spoken also in congo one of the 72 language in congo
Swahili is one of the best African languages to learn as well as being easy on the ears.

How is Congo the 8th poorest country in the world when it has the most resources?Africa needs to wake up and stop this nonsense.These rich Africans need to understand how and where to invest.
It's the poorest because rich countries are busy looting their resources creating unnecessary wars. If we have a stable DRC, and with good leadership, that is the weak link the rich countries have found to loot African resources.

@@andrewwalden8851 has nothing to do with the Berlin Conference and everything to do with US interference in the 60s. When you get all your history from youtube, you will always be minimally informed

Congo is like a very talented athlete who can achieve anything in so many sports but doesn't train hard enough and doesn't understand how much he can achieve and his witch uncle blocks his life
The witch Uncle you mentioned in this case is the politican(s).
Spot on!
More like an athlete who started running as a junior and whose rich uncles were in charge of all his earnings. But the athlete is now grown up but still let's these greedy uncles distract him and in the process keep hold of his earnings.

Africa's wealth gap is staggering
Oh, check South Africa or Eswatini. I lived in Eswatini for 19 years and the wealth disparity is staggering. The city is divided into 4, those living in the city are middle income, slightly out the city are the suburbs and this is where high earners and ultra rich gates communities are found. Once you pass this area, you then reach the townships where the poorest live in multitudes, outside that are "semi-rural settlements" with some few mansions. In high school just mention the area you live in and we can automatically estimate what your household income might be and the profession of your parents.
Africa is a continent not a country.

I worked onboard ships and have had the fortune to visit many countries in Africa during my time. There was a stark difference in quality of life between East Africa and West Africa.
East Africa with minimal resources is advanced and have been able to bank on a lot of opportunities in the Indian Ocean. West Africa, is where the resources are but it’s staggering to see the wealth disparity. They need to get the resources under their control and be a bit more business oriented.
You forgot to mention the corrupt politicians who sell their countries and counterparts out to foreigners.
There's a reason why China is so prominently placed in Africa, metals and mining.
Can’t do that with too many corrupt men. Easily tempted with money in sight
Need a complete government overhaul first. Africa has received billions in aid and you couldnt tell at all. no evidence. all stolen
I wouldn't call east Africa advanced, maybe to you as an Indian it may look very rich, but in absolute terms it's still one of the poorest and most dangerous regions in the world
What ship were you working on that you can't differentiate between East and West Africa. DR Congo is not in West Africa or East Africa,
What really excites me is the fact that a woman has come up with a business product for ladies only. That's awesome.
That's sex/gender discrimination against males
@@keith1689 it’s called positive discrimination in favor of women in a male dominated polical/business environment in Africa. It’s called Affirmative Action here in USA. Michelle and Barack Obama probably were beneficiaries( not 100% sure but I suppose) of the program which gave them access to Harvard University, which was historically a white male dominated University.
@@keith1689 it's not discrimination my friend. Women goes through through so much in life. When men runs away, women are left to care for themselves and the children. That doesn't mean that there are good men taking care of children who are single parent.
@@fatou1975yes but woman have more legal rights (the only one that matters, your feelings are not facts) in first world countries.
Things like woman only products and spaces should be welcomed in places like africa but if you bring that shit up in developed countries you‘re just delusional how easy you have it
But if her investors are all men, eventually she has to answer to the investors. They INVEST to get a RETURN. So who really is making money? This could just be a marketing strategy
I'm happy to learn that some western film makers are willing to broadcast good things about African countries like Congo.
What do you see "good" here?
I see the rich people using you all , even your children they will work to death instead of educating them.
They are keeping you as low slaves living in the dirt.
Good things? You mean westerners are tired of exposing their people and are trying to expand. "Oh this is how the rich live and this is how the poor live, truly horrible thing that doesn't happen in our country" "This what the rich did to become rich" This is how they took advantage of the poor people." Westerners always have to establish moral superiority. Taking advantage of the less fortunate or knowledgeable doesn't exist there. Income gaps don't exist in the west either right? What have you actually learned from this? That the congolese people haven't lost hope?
But they purposefully leave out what the westerners did to the congo and its people
@@Demir0509 They do as they are told to do.
Africa is being robbed for almost hundred years by white people or your western film makers.... turning your nation around little finger for their profit since early 20th century. Open your EYES! They are not there because they want to help you, only to take materials. If I feel sorry for anyone, its Africa for sure. That many of you and still can't live at your own peace/rules. Every time I hear african people attacked this and this company-corporation of white people makes me happy! And I'm white.

It’s helpful when the rich don’t take their wealth to the west and instead stay local, that way maybe their spending might help a little locally.
For sure it's very helpful. The need to build your own is very important.
They take their wealth nowadays to Dubai. Behind times Bro
This wealth inequality isn't helping anyone
Ironically when your rich most of the stuff you buy is Imported.
Yea local across the river of poverty so all the poor people can look at them in awe...wtf shit is mad weird
This is amazing! Changed my whole perspective of the Congo and the people who live there. Very beautiful
Thanks for the crew for bringing this doc
Most people who live extravagantly are involved in some type of “easy come easy go” endeavor. I know from experience. I once had a business partner who had a 25,000 sq ft home. Turned out his company had been screwing people over for over a decade. They screwed me over too and I walked away with an education and just barely enough to start over. It’s all part of life. I knew it could happen, and I was able to go on to make millions, but I’m sure it doesn’t go that way for most people. Just live your life the best you can, keep your head up and be aware that it’s not really a battle unless you feel it is.
God rescue Africa from dishonesty!!
This continent is so wealthy but the inhabitants are so greedy 😢
God cannot do it...Africans have to do it...they stop being greedy ,dishonest, selfish and organise their governments properly...
Its not the inhabitants who benefit from the chaos and war, the West benefits much more from Africas natural resources by making sure Africa stays in this instability.

Rich people alway fine way to multiply money on anything they do, why poor people alway eat what they have with them.
You're absolutely right, to be a successful in life required not only hard work but awareness and sometime opportunity at the moment, investment remains the best way to start.
I agree with you. Investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity. And not just any investment but an investment with guaranteed return.
yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legit investment or business without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to great loss too.
Exactly and many of us don't know where to invest our money so we invest it on wrong place and to the wrong people
Africa economy is very poor and the leaders are not ready to make changes.
People need something to live for. Give them even false hope and they will live with even greater determination for tomorrow.
What a profound statement. So true!
That false hope is "religion". Doesn't matter how poor or uneducated you are, religion gives you that false sense of hope and determination, while they pick your pockets.
@@Inspirationdiariesprofound statement indeed
Its really good the wealthy are not leaving with their wealth and staying in the country to help build it up ❤ From England 🇬🇧
Why are the roads in such a mess? Where is all this ‘help’ you speak of?
@LisePlansandJournals So what do you suggest you and the people need to do? Because if the wealth leaves, you can't build infrastructure. You need their wealth to stay, and it takes a long time if you feel this way, then do something and contribute instead of asking it will never get better while doing nothing but complaining about the it

DRC will rise
It's amazing to see how these documentary stories have been interconnected, making it truly special. 👌🏻❤️
As someone who knew many Lebanese, Greeks who had business in the DRC I would say there are well more than 600 millionaires. Probably more like 20,000 millionaires.
the guy is down to earth he is so kind to give those worker money and understand their situation..God bless him more
If Africa decided to unite and make a “United states of Africa” they’d be a powerhouse
On God
The biggest downfall is politicians
Interesting. I like how the story flows from the various aspects of society.
Great doc, we appreciate as Congolese how you showcased ,not as usual wars, but the positive and hope souls.
LOVE such content .. it really exposes me to different part of the world. i am surprised even tho DRC is reportedly having different problems but they have a population of about 100 MILLION people. incredible.
I love her women's empowerment taxi concept. It's wonderful.!!!
The guy could be living in Europe or America but he decided to stay home and help his people. In fact some of those small business guys do have at least $1k in their bank account. Folks in Europe getting paid 3k Europs they pay 1.5k for rent are totally broke. It's heartbreaking to her the salary of that nurse really sad.
Why are the roads in such a dilapidated mess? Who exactly is he helping?
@@LisePlansandJournals The roads is responsibility of the government, in most African countries individuals have offered themselves to make roads the government doesn't accept because they want yo take credit. He is helping the people that he employes his band is huge.
He probably owns a property in Framce or Belguim too. Most wealthy Congolese do.
@Pyrrhic537 That is what she/he does not know. Even their children do not go to schools or hospital in DRCONGO.
@beatamafulu2405 Exactly. They go to top private hospitals and schools in mostly France, Switzerland and Belgium.
I wish each Congolese to enjoy their rich land and show the world they can manage their resources by themselves without the outsiders
Well narrated film!
Congo has a huge potential as an investment destination. How can juices be imported from Europe while, it can be produced locally? Congo,here i come.
Thats the issue with Africa. There are varieties of fruits in Africa that can be used to make juices and sell. Yet the mindset is still that of the West is better. How can poor people afford to keep importing from the West and expect to have a good economy? Its really the mindset
With them joining EAC ....we will trap that opportunity there
It's gut wrenching to see what is happening on the whole continent of Africa .......😢

In Africa natural resources is more of a curse than a blessing. And I don't understand why the people in power don't see that the trajectory we're on as a continent is not sustainable (that is spending decades plundering the wealth of nations at the expense of everyone else).
I pray to God that we eventually get it right.
How do you think the elite get to the top? They steal and cheat, and once they get to the top, they steal, kill and cheat to stay there.
If UAE is more developed than USA despite having an abundance of natural resources, then why can't African leaders do the same to their country?

Riches money luxury are not allowed only for the western world. God showers blessings on both poor and the rich, BLACK and white. May God bless Africa

Happy 😊 for the new parents they will be great parents good to see Congo modernizing ❤
Poor people seem to be the happiest
That minister seems outrageous to me. Seems to me he’s scamming those people.
The comments about the continued poverty in DRC are unintelligent. Rebel factions, the UN, and France help maintain the instability. So ask yourself how you can help to rid DRC of foreign instability and create positive working relationship between rebel factions to end the inequities.

Love Africa.... Great documentary. I think it's just wonderful how some of these humans have made their way out of poverty. What I find even more commendable is that they've chosen to keep their wealth in their beautiful country. Such a sad state of affairs when impoverished countries lose their budding entrepreneurs to a wealthier country. No country will ever rise above poverty, etc... when the "Movers and Shakers" remove potential growth from their homeland by leaving. I don't like that self proclaimed, "Prophet" though. He's without a doubt, a sidewinder. But? He gives hope to many, irregardless if he's a fake, and sometimes that's all one needs to rise above and stay the course. Without hope? All is lost. So? Whatever... 'Juice Guy". Smh.

Calling people who earn €3000/month ultra-rich for any capital city in the world shows how DW is out of touch with anything outside Europe.
I think he's speaking relatively. Take the minimum salary in your country and multiply by 100. Minimum salary in Cyprus is around 900 euros. Therefore by their saying, the ultra rich here would earn about 90 000 euros per month. But as usual, the ultra rich person in the video is the singer. The true ultra rich will never let cameras stream their houses in Africa. They live in gated and well protected neighbor hoods.
Nah its just hyping up numbers, nothing to do with being out of touch, get over it.
in a country where most people are not even making 100 a month, they are ultra-wealthy.

I know poverty in Africa is harsher without social security that the West is privileged to have. However, there is poverty and disparity of wealth everywhere on earth. We all have to voice out Anti-corruption. No countries are corruption proof, because we all get enticed by money on all levels of the society. "No" to corruption. The citizens have to advocate and practise. The wicked politicians and business people must be targeted to bring the society a little better place.
So if someone makes a business and becomes rich he is corrupt ? 😂
"The wicked politicians and business people must be targeted to bring the society a little better place."
The people must unite and solve their problems, this thing of waiting for someone else or God to solve your problems is the reason why they are in this mess. The money they used to travel to go to the pastor and buy his juice, they have should have combined it and built a school, roads, provide electricity for themselves, etc. But people are always looking for someone else to save them
@@Bambotb It's great to see people in Africa doing business and becoming rich but corruption comes to mind when you look at African governments selling natural resources abroad and keeping all the profits for themselves instead of investing in healthcare, education, infrastructure. There's enough money in Africa but politicians keep most of that money for themselves that's why there are so many regular people struggling.
Ah and btw, you can do business and still be corrupt as an individual. It's very common in many countries (USA, UK, Russia...)
There is corruption in the West, too, the main difference is that Western countries share a lot of that wealth with their citizens, most African countries don't

The narrator omits the horrible legacy of Leopold II of Belgium but is quick to talk about Mobutu's atrocities which are terrible but pale in comparison with those committed by the colonisers.
While Leopold did devastate the Congo, if the US had not interfered in Congo's affairs in the 50s-70s, Congo would have long overcome those historical atrocities. People want to always pretend as if America has not had the most devastating effect throughout Africa

That project would be hard to join but there’s other impact projects that can be invested in or donated to.
One of the DRC’s biggest startups is Altech group a solar power company that raised $600, 000 in crowd funding from Kiva, won the Humanitarian Grant challenge for $1.5 million last year and recently raised $20 million in debt financing. It’s one of Africans fastest growing companies and perhaps they would be open to working with you.
